Funfair Ride Build Up Video - PWS Rides 'Funk N Fly' Super Trooper - Winter Wonderland Stoke

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It all came full circle today as whilst I couldn't film this ride being built up at Alton Towers (or record a POV) I was able to do so as the ride formerly known as Funk N Fly comes to Stoke on Trent this winter!

[@FairGround7DeLorean]

Thank you Shawn for showcasing my beloved Funfairs to a wider audience especially the theme park ones who really haven't a clue what goes into making these machines work safely all over the country. 😊

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@FairGround7DeLorean My pleasure!

[@carlrobinson4843]

Watching these go up is unreal. Glad you got invited back to see the set up again this year

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I wish I could document a few more but I don’t know the arrival schedule now so I couldn’t fit it in

[@carlrobinson4843]

@ busy man building an empire of followers 😂

This Winter wonderland! Hanley stoke on trent? 2024

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Sure is

[@Lisapugh46]

Good old Funk n Fly!! Must say one of my favourites! Petition started bring back The Retro Squad 😂

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

haha absolutely not, they need a good rest and recoup! haha

[@Lisapugh46]

@LiftHillsandThrills 🤣🤣

[@thellamaking7248]

With A Waltzer (Roller Disco) Extreme (Spinjam) and this Super Trooper (Funk n Fly) we can safely say the Retro Squad has returned to Stoke on Trent 😂

Love the Super Trooper rides! They really shine at fairs, attracting a lot of guests. I'd prefer riding a Super trooper over a paratrooper 👌

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Same, they have a better visual appeal, better cycle (more intense) and just look the part off-ride

[@danielward4868]

Mum can we have Alton Towers? No. We have Alton Towers at home. Alton Towers at home: NGL it is cool to see how funfair rides are set up

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@danielward4868 Looks in better shape than it ever did at AT

[@SamM-oh2cx]

It’s just nuts how that all folds out of one fairly normal road going truck and trailer! You forget it’s also got to carry a massive generator to power it too! Love the mutual respect vloggers have for the showmen and the showmen and gaff lads have for vloggers! Nice that you stuck around them all day and how cool was that to let you have a ride at the end! Oh and Sean, you can never have enough 🔈🔈🔈speakers 🔈🔈🔈🤣😂 Really enjoyed these build ups Sean, and whilst it might be the last it’s definitely not Goodbye, Just Bonjour 🤣

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It's like a little family, we went on dinner breaks together, had a laugh, every team has been nothing but friendly. It's been fun documenting it and the free brews is just a perk of the job aha

[@SamM-oh2cx]

@ some of the most down to earth and insanely hardworking folk you’d ever meet! Without folk like you taking the time to capture content like this, unless you seen it with your own eyes, no one would ever realise just how hard the showmen and gaff lads work, in all weather just to bring all the fun of the fair to town! Cherish them memories of the break time and laughs with them, they welcomed you into there world, that’s special mate!

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@ It is, I definitely felt that regardless of what they said about the white high vis wearing wanker when he left the site 😂😂 but this series started last year to do exactly that, to showcase the hard work that goes into the set up that goes VERY underappreciated

[@TheMadman1981]

is there a waltzer this year?

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

There is, Leigh Danter’s

[@carmenparker1880]

Cool ❤

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

[@ColinHartley-ti8it]

If they run super trooper on Alton towers settings people will be asking for there money back 😂

[@ATA-AltonTowersArchive]

Is the big KMG there this year?

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

[@squaddingquads]

Eh up mate, I was flying over as this was being built, did you see me? Wish I'd have know you was there I'd have said hi.

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

Didn’t see a drone today mate, saw one yesterday as I flipped it the bird, was that you too? 😂

[@squaddingquads]

@LiftHillsandThrills yup that was me, you not a fan then?

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@johnnybgood1977 I think it was passed over today so it was nice to be around for that, nice to experience it and even cooler (for me) knowing it's the EXACT one from Towers.

[@Mr_Galactica2008]

That ride I loved it when at Alton towers

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

It was good fun even on 'theme park settings'

[@Mr_Galactica2008]

It was a good run at Alton towers

[@Mr_Galactica2008]

I have a Question

[@Mr_Galactica2008]

?

[@jamesansell007]

Still had decorations from Alton Towers

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

I'm sure if it had lungs it would be breathing a sigh of relief in every other dept aha

[@jamesansell007]

@ I did find a funny when they bought and then gave back to pws sell (with some fix being lots quieter motor because very noisy at Alton tower) but hope that Elliot enjoys i think these slow be successful in Europe it will great family ride

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

@@jamesansell007 He was taking lots of photos today and hopefully this video helps him with future builds / reference etc

[@jamesansell007]
